BLACKSTAR HT Club 40 MK III combo

Blackstar HT Club 40 MK III Tube Guitar Amplifier

The Blackstar HT Club 40 MK III is a versatile tube amplifier, ideal for club gigs. This 40-watt unit, powered by 2 x ECC83 and 2 x EL34 tubes, delivers a breakthrough in dynamics and clean punch. The amplifier features 2 channels and 4 footswitchable voices, allowing for a wide range of tones – from boutique clean sounds to super saturated solos.

One of its most important features is the patented ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) technology, which allows you to change the sound character from American to British style. In addition, the Power Reduction function allows you to reduce the power to 10% (4 watts), making the amplifier perfect for home practice or studio recording, without losing the richness of the tube tone. The integrated digital Reverb effect with a "Dark/Light" switch adds spaciousness to the sound.

The unit also features modern connections for recording: a USB interface, an emulated output (XLR and Jack) with 1x12 or 4x12 speaker simulation, and an effects loop.
